Where did you get the idea to post here? Does Bill mean anything?

Go to a website www.adoption.com. It has been helpful to me. Do you think he is here in Idaho? Google a support group for Idaho adoptees. I wish I could tell you more. Good luck!!

Um your picture looks like it belongs on a dating website. take a proper picture and then i may help you!

Apparently some people will only help on the condition that you take a better picture instead of having a heart. This is a very emotional situation for you and you deserve to be treated with respect. My advise is to hire a professional.

Take a better picture of your face. We don't need to see your body to help you find your father.

Trusting & naive are not always a good thing. This dude is fishing. If you can't see that, take off the blinders. Not everything/everyone is like you and your life. I absolutely agree with Ken, pocatello and BOISE. (don't understand Curious)

I've seen some of these comments and i agree with all. I dont think that we should be Judging your pic but since this is a serious situation i really think you should get a diff pic of you, that way we may compare your looks to someone we may know.

you should try to make a video perhapses talking about your father maybe by hearing you and a better view of you will shed some light to the situation. Maybe a picture of your mom or dad it's worth a try. Wish you luck!

my brother had a son 17 years ago. Do have a name to help people help you. What ws your mothers first name? Good luck with your search. Don't give up! I too had to find my biological father when I came of age. I know how you feel.

I was in foster care too. Just don't let it become who you are. I hope you find your dad and I hope it is a joyous reunion. Don't listen to these people who don't know what it's like to have such a large part of you remain a mystery. Stay resolute.

Come on people, do you have nothing better than to bash this young man on his picture? Let me see a picture of everyone who made a comment, I am sure I could find a few flaws... Jerks

good luck kid!!! GOD knows im 34yo and all I know about my dad is what he looked like 33yrs ago. woohoo!!!

These people on here bashing have no idea what a person goes through when part of their life is missing. They have no heart. Why dont you people put your bashing to some good use and help someone, see how good it makes you feel. The lord judges.

Thats sad many of you felt like knocking a kid down when he reached out for help..OVER HIS PICTURE! Karma sucks so when you all are in need of help some day, don't expect anymore than what you are willing to give. Everything in life comes back around

go to www.wetv.com/the-locator/casting.php At the bottom of page it says "request form", click on that link and fill out an application. Good luck:)

In other words, to be taken more serious in your quest, consider a more appropriate picture - not you in the bathroom with your shirt off. A picture like this may solicit the wrong kind of attention...unless...

You can contact any Social Security Office and if you know his Social Security Number, they can find him anywhere. If not, sometimes if you know all of the names he has used and his birthdate, they can help you locate him. May the Lord help you with

If you know your fathers name look him up at peekyou.com thats a good start.

okay we need a name, last name, any name, where were you born, state and city, was the fathers name on birth cert, father may have had a drivers lic in that state. You need to give more info on your father and or mother. where they met, military?

I also wish you luck! Karma will get those who dish it out! What kind of info do you know about your father? There are a lot of search websites out there but be aware that there is usually some kind of charge. Again, Good Luck!

Every else aside, after 22 years I found my son on Reunion.com. It is a website that allows you to search for people if you know their name or their families name. BEST OF LUCK TO YOU

Ah yes i know growing up without a father is really hard.Fathers are probably more important for growing up the mothers.Mothers just feed you and stuff to keep you alive. Hm one of my friends father was actualy his grandfather,he only found out at 16

Try putting an add in the local paper for info. Also I raised my Son alone, he knows who his father is, his father doesn't want him. My Son is fine so regardless how this turns out, you will be fine too. Family isn't always what runs in your veins

start out simple ask or go to mormons . they are related to everyone. im sure they will need a name if its smith, jones good luck. god bless if you have name go to mormon archives im sure hes there.

Yeah mormmons now everything and everybody! what you expect? it's a small town full of drama period!

that picture needs to be taken out of her he looks like hes lookin for sex rather then a dad

iF YOU WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO HELP YOU NEED TO GIVE MORE INFOMATION ON YOUR PARENTS. LIKE: WHERE THEY MET, YOUR MOMS NAME AND MAYBE YOUR FATHERS NAME (IF KNOW). WHERE YOU WHERE BORN OR ANYTHING. I AM 23 AND JUST FOUND MY DAD THIS WAY. GOOD LIKE.

Buddy,good luck with your search,but I think with this pic you'll find a girlfriend ;)

are you

you look like your looking for a date or something.get dressed and take a normmal mug shot. then somebody will probally help you.
